@Big Jim, your guess is as good as any. While I don't know the look of mostly every engine that is out there, I do appreciate when those that do know point these out. I'm glad we get a choice of whistle in this new lot. I was explaining to my brother this morning about the 2-10-4 mishap with the "switcher-like" whistle it has. Told him it would be like a Corvette with a 2 cylinder engine. To quote Monty Python, "It just don't work".
I know that in years past when they first started moving from traditional to scale, there was a bunch of mistakes like the valve gear on the first Mohawk. I don't remember who I asked but they posted what the Baker Valve gear looked like which intrigued me.
I remember also when the newer versions of the N&W Class J's came out and the red color stripe was off from what it should have been. I think someone had said that either there was a time when that off color was right, or that it was closer to what 611 had now(forget which).
With all the offerings and mistakes, miscues, or whatever other issues(clown colored Challenger, yuck), eventually they will get something right. Maybe the font lettering on the tender. I just hope they go back to the original couplers from 6-7 years or so ago without the thumbtacks on them that swivel. The new couplers are a disaster.
